"Netflix will look to greenlight a number of projects spanning TV, film and "additional formats," it wrote in a press release. The first of these will be a feature film written by Ben Mekler and Chris Amick. Ticket to Ride creator Alan R. Moon will serve as an executive producer on the project, which will be the game's first on-screen adaptation."
"Netflix has been in the game adaptation business for a while now, but until recently most of its attention had been on adapting video games. That's still very much happening, but the streaming giant is also now buying up rights for board game IP too, with the latest being Asmodee's Ticket to Ride. Ticket to Ride is a train-themed turn-based strategy and route-building game first released over 20 years ago."
Netflix acquired rights from Asmodee to adapt Ticket to Ride across TV, film and additional formats, beginning with a feature film scripted by Ben Mekler and Chris Amick. Alan R. Moon, the game's creator, will serve as an executive producer, and the film will represent Ticket to Ride's first on-screen adaptation. Ticket to Ride is a train-themed, turn-based strategy and route-building game released over 20 years ago that has sold more than 20 million copies and been translated into over 30 languages. Netflix previously secured other Asmodee IP and also signed a separate Hasbro deal for a TV game show in early 2025.
